Abstract

This article studies the quantum Stackelberg duopoly game where the leader player moves as a free-rider. It is found in this scenario that the quantities and payoffs in equilibrium are not far from those achieved when the leader moves according to the backwards induction principle, converging to the Pareto optimal solution as the entanglement factor increases.
